In our research, we have documented a wide variety of 18th & early 19th century ribbons. Along with taffetas and brocades, we also found satin woven ribbon. Typically this ribbon was woven with the shiny satin weave face out, and a matte plain-woven side on the reverse, as in our Single Faced Silk Satin Ribbon. This kept the ribbon easier to manipulate when decorating hats or trimming gowns. Of the hundreds of extant ribbons we documented, we found only one ribbon that was satin on both sides, leading us to believe that Single Faced Silk Satin Ribbon was the norm.
